SUBWOOFER HOOKUP

To hook up a subwoofer, use a single RCA cable and make the connection from the SUB OUT connection on your receiver to the LFE input on your subwoofer. (See wire hookup diagram above.) If no LFE input is available, use LINE R or L and turn “Low Pass” fully clockwise.

Recommended Polk Audio Subwoofers: PSW111,

DSWPRO440wi, DSWPRO550wi & DSWPRO660wi.

For 5CH Mode:

Connect the Surround Back Left (SBL) and Surround Back Right (SBR) channels from the outputs of your receiver to the corresponding inputs on the two satellite loudspeakers.

For 7CH Mode: Do not connect any satellite loudspeakers to your receiver. The SurroundBar reproduces all 7 channels.

Note: Be sure to “tie off” the unused channels on the provided cable.

OPTIONAL SATELLITE LOUDSPEAKER HOOKUP

Dedicated satellite/surround loudspeakers may be employed to create an even more enveloping surround experience.

SURROUNDBAR 400 CHT:

Do not connect the provided loudspeaker cable’s Surround and Surround Back conductors to your receiver. Instead, connect your dedicated surround speakers to these amplifier outputs. Be sure to “tie off” the unused Surround and Surround Back wires.

For LCR Mode: Connect the Surround Left (SL), Surround Right (SR), Surround Back Left (SBL) and Surround Back Right (SBR) channels from the outputs of your receiver to the corresponding inputs on the four satellite loudspeakers.

F/X® WIRELESS SURROUND

Polk Audio offers a unique, wireless single-enclosure surround sound loudspeaker. The F/X Wireless Surround sits behind your listening area on the floor, a table or shelf. A 2.4 GHz transmitter connects to your receiver and communicates with the F/X loudspeaker, which will reproduce both Surround and Surround Back channels when properly configured and the SurroundBar CHT set in LCR mode.
